                   CONGRATULATING JOHN ANTHONY SCIRE

 Mr. HELLER. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize Dr. John 
Anthony Scire, who has been awarded the 2013 Dean's Award for Teaching 
by a Member of the Contingent Faculty of the University of Nevada, 
Reno. My home State of Nevada is proud and privileged to acknowledge an 
extraordinary educator and leader.
  Since 1993, Dr. John Scire has dedicated himself to the students and 
faculty of the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Nevada, 
Reno, UNR, as an adjunct professor. His extensive education in areas of 
international relations, international finance, and political science 
has prepared him for his service to the students of UNR. Nevada is 
fortunate to have such great educational leadership serving the 
students across our great State.
  Prior to working in higher education, Dr. John Scire served nearly 
three decades in the U.S. military. His work included intelligence, 
counterintelligence, and psychological warfare operations that were 
vital to maintaining the national security of our country. Dr. Scire, 
like all of our military men and women, dedicated his life to serve 
this great Nation, and I am grateful for his sacrifices.
  I want to acknowledge and thank Dr. John Scire for his faithful 
service to our country, both in the classroom and protecting America. I 
ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Dr. John Scire and 
celebrating the achievements of our Nation's teachers, administrators, 
and staff who help guide our students to educational 
excellence.
